cyrix-dlc.x386.net is offline.
7/29/2010 3:00pm - End of an era.
Due to a change in available space/bandwidth/power I've decided to shut
down cyrix-dlc.x386.net as a server. It's a good box but it chews watts
for candy, holds down entire racks by itself as well as taking up more
space than a modern rackmount APC UPS. My electric bill won't support
leaving it on 24x7 any more.
In it's place I've setup a Soekris 4801-60 running off a 256MB CF card
and a 1TB pocket external USB drive. The entire setup sips less than 15w
at full load wile providing orders of magnitude more cpu and throughput
than the hopped up tank it replaces.
Gone but not forgotten the 386 is going to live on as a test workstation
and experiment box never to be given away except to a museum. : )
